Allow mobile remote client to work with a mouse/trackpad

8 votes

I use my iPad with a bluetooth mouse but the remote control app only allows me to use my finger as a mouse and not an actual mouse pointer. Splashtop gives me this option and works well but I don't want to use Splashtop, I really would love this option in PulseWay so I don't have to pay for Splashtop. Thanks so much in advance

This would be delightful! using a a samsung tab 7+ with the trackpad feels super awkward when you're remoted in, when it would otherwise be an incredible experience. I'm probably going to avoid using the mobile app for remote desktop until this as added

I’m evaluating Pulseway. The first thing I tried was remote control.

I connected on my iPad Pro 12.9” with remote control to a Windows PC, and thought it was broken. I’d click my Magic Mouse on the screen, and nothing happened. I thought it was view only.

“I can’t use this, I need to actually control the PC” was my thought.

I checked the settings on the Pulseway app. Nothing about the mouse at all that I could see.

Every remote control app I’ve used uses the mouse directly, not this weird click and drag the Windows mouse pointer around the screen.

Tedious.

I can’t believe you have it “work” this way, and no one has addressed this? Has anyone at Pulseway actually used it this way?
